Abstract

The specific disadvantage of the Vecchietti technique for construction of a vagina in cases of vaginal agenesis is the need for laparotomy. We describe an endoscopically assisted construction of a vagina by a variation of this method and report on the first five cases operated on without any complications and with good functional results.
